Seagate FireCuda 530R 2 TB
2 TB M.2 2280 SSD identified by the complete manufacturer part number below. Capacity, heatsink, interface mode and regional suffix can change specifications; do not transfer ratings from a neighboring SKU.
SKU IDENTIFICATION: Seagate FireCuda 530R, 2 TB, part number ZP2000GM3A064. Verify the complete label, hardware revision and firmware before installation.
Manufacturer-identified specifications
| Product / exact MPN | Seagate FireCuda 530R 2 TB (ZP2000GM3A064) |
|---|---|
| Capacity / form factor | 2 TB; M.2 2280. |
| Interface / host lanes | PCIe 4.0 x4; NVMe 1.4. Published maxima require the compatible host generation and lane configuration; an older or lane-shared host can negotiate lower throughput. |
| Controller | The cited Seagate references do not identify a controller model. |
| NAND | 3D TLC NAND (manufacturer datasheet). |
| Sequential performance | Up to 7,300 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write. Vendor-rated figures apply under manufacturer test conditions, not as guaranteed sustained real-world results. |
| Endurance / warranty | 2,400 TBW; five-year limited warranty (manufacturer specifications). |
| Thermal package | Operating temperature: 0–70 °C (manufacturer datasheet). This is a bare M.2 module; allow airflow and use only a compatible host heatsink/thermal pad. |
Firmware, host compatibility & thermal cautions
- Check Seagate Support by the full model/serial number for any firmware or SeaTools guidance; do not install firmware intended for the older FireCuda 530.
- Use a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe-capable 2280 socket to approach rated performance. Confirm host BIOS/UEFI boot support, lane sharing and heatsink clearance.
- Check M.2 keying, slot length, single-/double-sided clearance, lane sharing, and system BIOS/UEFI support in the exact host manual; M.2 shape alone does not prove NVMe or boot compatibility.
- Follow the drive and host maker’s heatsink and thermal-pad instructions. Keep airflow around the controller area, do not stack thermal materials or remove factory labels/cooling without explicit guidance, and expect sustained performance to vary with temperature and workload.
- Shut down and remove standby power as instructed before installation; use ESD precautions. Back up data and retain recovery media and encryption keys before changing storage or updating firmware.
